I purchased this book on the fact that is uses stevia instead of sugar, but many of the recipes still call for flour, which is converted into sugar in our intestine. What's the point? I guess I expected more, like maybe the use of coconut flour? And many of the recipes use ingredients like kombu, umeboshi paste, hijiki, wakame, sunchokes, fresh lotus root, quinoa, etc. Where does one get this stuff????????? Not where I live, that is for sure. These recipes are very unrealistic, not difficult, just not realistic. And many of them use soy. So if you are on a SCD, grain-free, or soy free diet, pass this one up.

I can't tell you how much I love this book:) Every recipe is soooo healthy and tasty, the cocoa almond pudding recipe, oh my goodness, it's all natural, healthy and tastes amazing! You will never crave unhealthy chocolate bars after tasting this. I love the many raw recipes Jan has included and the health info is priceless. There is so much variety in her recipes, you get soups, appetizers, entrees, desserts etc. Jan really knows her health and has crated so many delicious healthy recipes. This is the perfect gift for freinds who want to start eating better:) Great Job Jan!

Jan London has opened up a new world to me.The health benefits of using pure cocoanut products and Stevia to make inviting meals is something I've never considered. Her knowledge, skill and creativity in the use of these products is eveident in this warm and charming book.
